Another great video. Just when I am about to receive my first SLZB-06. Without seeing this video I was going start everything from scatch. Thank you Travis. Keep up the good work.
Awesome timing!!
Thanks for the video. IEEE, just say, I triple E. I plan on replacing my sonoff USB with the SMLight unit. Currently creating a document to follow so that it goes smoother. I currently have an SMLight running as a router and bought a second unit that will replace the SONOFF. I have HA running on HA blue. I self host MQTT, Z2M, Node-red, influxdb and ESPHome as LXC running on Proxmox. I like to have other features still running when HA is rebooting and I have more control. I still need to migrate ESPHome device that are talking to ESPHome with the Add-on on HA.
Pretty simple to migrate Esphome, copy the yaml files and done as it isn't really in between HA and the ESP devices, it is more of a compile/upgrade tool.
@@digiblurDIY Thanks. Just to find the time to do it. So, many other projects on the go. What else is new.
Wanted to migrate for awhile, but we have Zigbee devices (around 110) all over the property. all the videos I had found up to this point said they all needed to be repaired once it was installed. That wasn't going to work as over half of those would require a ladder to get to. Thank you for this video, I ordered a dongle as soon as I finished watching this and fingers crossed, will be attempting this when it arrives!
What radio are you using right now?
Thanks. Always wanted to migrate to the SLZB-06 but was hesitant (and lazy) to dive into how. I didnt relish the thought I migrating 55 zigbee devices. After watching your video and seen how easy it was I, bought the SLZB and migrated over without too much issue. Only thing I found was that notwithstanding I changed in the address in the configuration portion of Zigbee2Mqtt in HA, I had to also manually edit the yaml file with same new address, as it was still pointing to the old coordinator (Zonoff) address. Changed this and bingo everything up and running. Beauty of using the POE is I can now place that coordinator in a more 'central' location which isnt necessarily tied to the server like my old USB zigbee coordinator. Thanks once again! Super easy.
Nice!! Thanks for the feedback on a decent sized zigbee network migration.
@@digiblurDIY yes thanks once again. I just have being recommended view of other YT videos on the same subject and they are going through the repair process. OMG I would never have migrated if I saw those videos ;=P
Super video! From Sonoff USB to POE (slzb-06) with 80 devices without a single problem.
Prepared the slzb-06 (IEEE, firmware updates & fixed IP), stopped the z2m container, removed the usb device from portainer stack, replaced the serial from the configuration.yaml and redeployed the container.
All devices were online within a minute. No power down, no re-pairing necessary.
Thanks!
BTW slowly the LQI is improving since the POE adapter is in a completely different place.
Awesome work!! Great to hear it worked out for you with that many devices!
@@digiblurDIY well… after 3 days things went sour (nothing worked, out of the blue) either a power problem (installed a UPS), a router problem (installed new power supplies) or a firmware problem. Shut all down for about 45 minutes and it is now rebuilding the mesh network. Hope I don’t have to go back to Sonoff USB because tomorrow 10 new zigbee lights will arrive..
Ha. was just looking for this. Fricken awesome. Thank you
Glad to help!
I asked and you delivered (as always).... Seems simple enough, but then again you always make it look like a walk in the park. Great video Travis, thanks for increasing our confidence. Just ordered it - hopefully I won't need the discord chat for this...
Well, I followed this video and migrated 56 devices over just fine. Had to wake a few. Its up and running. Thanks again Travis.
NICE! Glad to hear you had success!
I'm using 1 in my summerhouse and connecting via wireguard back home, works great 👍
I still want to set one up at a family members house.
@@digiblurDIY Do it 👍
I've always use "Eye Triple EE" for IEEE
It's pronounced as "I triple E".
I would probably screw that one up too end up calling it triple B.
Wish this video was available last weekend when I decided to migrate mine. Z2m on UnRaid also and tried editing the Docker file to change the port as opposed to within z2m as you did here. Didn’t like it and z2m had a major fail. Only way I could get it to start again was remove the .yaml file and let it build a new one. 80 devices to reconnect… took to opportunity to change the channel at this point also. That was a painful weekend but at least it’s back up and working well.
That is one point I had fail on me today. I forgot to remove the pass through and the container wouldn't restart. Doh! The usb was missing now.
@@digiblurDIY I would like to try it again in a lab to understand what went wrong with mine as I’m sure it should have been much easier. Still got there in the end thanks to your videos on the subject and I think once using the Ethernet device, it’s actually much simpler than the USB.
Another great video. I do have a couple questions.
I run HA at my house and my folks live across the street. I do have a 5.8ghz link between the houses providing network and Internet connectivity. I am currently running the Sonoff bridge at each house and run Z2M and ZHA. I would like to consolidate everything into one interface. With the SLZB06, I can run the coordinator at the main house and the router at the second house. Does the router communicate through the network or over RF back to the coordinator? The houses are far enough apart where connectivity becomes spotty.
I am currently using the Sonoff Bridge Pro at both locations and each one is a coordinator. Is it possible to reconfigure one of these to be a router like the SLZB06?
You would need to get a Zigbee route going between two Zigbee devices between the two houses. That might be possible with 2 Zigbee routers with panel antennas. I've done it across the neighborhood before. But in the sake or reliability, if your 5.8ghz link is solid. I'd just run two SLZB-06 with two Z2M instances myself.
You can't have zigbee use the wifi link between routers, that's a Thread feature though.
I also run HA-core on my Threadripper based UNRAID server. I have been considering migrating my HA from UNRAID to a HA Green, as I dont like HA being offline when I have server maintenance or server issues. I know I can still have my heavy hitting (but less important) dockers run on UNRAID and point HA Green at them.... but am still worried Green will be less responsive.
Thoughts?
HA Green is too slow for my likes. N95/N100 is my choice for a little HA box.
hi Great vid
I have a Tubes ethernet POE running ZHA, I have just received my SLZB-06 If I set this up as Z2MQTT is it possible to migrate my ZHA devices over easily or will I have to repair everything
Not that I know of unfortunately. I haven't seen any migration tool from ZHA to Z2M.
Just set up my new SLZB-06 as my zigbee coordinator. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Now, is there a way to use the old Sonoff dongle as a router?
Which model of the dongle?
Windows now has clipboard history.
WIndows key + V (instead of Ctrl + V)
I always forget about that combo.
Thanks for the video, should be getting a slzb-06 from aexpress in a few weeks, just to expand my network, while it seems straight forward to add another coordinator to z2mqtt, how do i prevent multiple coordinators fighting over devices while pairing, as there is going to be some overlap
Why are you adding another coordinator? Do you just mean to add it as router mode?
@@digiblurDIYhave a usb coordinator in the living room, garage is totally out of range, so my plan is to have one usb and one poe, could also run amother z2mqtt in docker which seems more practical
Do I need to perform the same steps if I am going from SLZB-06 to SLZB-06p7. I have to write the IEEE-address from SLZB-06 to SLZB-06p7 right?
Yup, I would as devices will be looking for the other IEEE address.
Has anyone attempted to enable to bluetooth proxy feature on this unit while running Z2M?
I haven't tried it yet with the Esphome software
I am currently running firmware v2.3.6 but still haven't got the option of changing the EEE on my SLZB-06M. Can you please help with this problem and how to fix it ?
That's only available on that TI model ones. That's the EFR chipset you have.
I’ve been having all kinds of issues with Zigbee2MQTT, seems like usually after a Home Assistant update, a few to several devices just stop working, no idea why. I have found that if I go into the add on and rename the device, I usually just add a 1, then move the slider that says Update entity ID, then do it again but remove the 1 and normally it starts working again. Anyone else having these issues? I’m having it on several completely separate installs too.
What MQTT container are you using and version?
@@digiblurDIY supervised.
I have a sonoff dongle and want to migrate to SLZB-06M
Who's silicon lab chip...
Would it work?
Migrate from what to what on what software?
@@digiblurDIY from zigbee2mqtt on home assistant with sonof dongle to zigbee2mqtt on home assistant with slzb-06m plugged on poe
When are we going to get another live Travis? 😅
Tonight actually.. 8pm central time or so.
And there is no way doing it in SLZB-06M ? Everywhere is recomending "buy 06M version" But nowhere is any informatsion how to go ember firmware or how to go from SONOFF USB Dongle to SLZB-06M with mqtt
I wouldn't get the 6M myself, everywhere hasn't done their research.
@@digiblurDIY why not? any specific reason?
I would assume that most of them run HAOS boxes and just use ZHA as Z2M might be too confusing combined with it using mqtt that oddly offends people to install it. So they stick to what is hyped and pushed regardless of reliability or performance.
Had the power flick off and on five times and it reset a bunch of my smart bulbs. Stupid power company. 😢
I wish my Generac was designed where if the power dropped it just disconnected it. Waited for the generator to start and come up then flip us over. Then start a timer where the power had to be constant for a solid 15 min before it dropped us back on the grid.
@@digiblurDIY That would be nice. I have flipped my breakers off because the power was off and on too much.
Just FYI, it's pronounced eye-tripple-eee.
Also, the IEEE address looks suspiciously like a 48 bit (6 byte) MAC address, where the colons denote 8-bit (1 byte) boundaries.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

Sigh. I desperately need an easy path for migrating TI to Silicon Labs.
That's an odd path... I think ZHA might be able to do it.
Is it really odd tho? Nabu Casa decided to use SL chips in their hardware for whatever reasons, while TI has long been the "preferred" choice. Definitely my bad for buying the SLZB-06M knowing there was no solution for migrating in z2m.
I prefer the TI chipsets myself given they just have better compatibility with Z2M. I can see HA going the SL route though given their focus is ZHA. Not to really say one chip is better than the other, if I was using ZHA then I would probably go SL as well.
